The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2003) was approved to promote the conservation of energy within the built environment. As part of the directive implementation of Display Energy Certificates (DECs), Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Air Conditioning Inspections were made mandatory for particular buildings.

Selling, letting or constructing a building? If so, you will require an Energy Performance Certificate.

Self Energy UK can promptly supply you with a competitive quote as well as providing support in achieving your carbon management objectives and guaranteeing the performance of those measures through an Energy Performance Guarantee.

Energy Performance Certificates were developed in order to demonstrate to buyers and tenants the intrinsic design value of a building, such as the efficiency of the building’s services and envelope.

Energy Performance Certificates issue buildings with a grade from A-G (‘A’ being the most efficient), providing prospective buyers and tenants with a simple method to consider the energy efficiency of potential premises. An accompanying Recommendation Report identifies measures to improve the energy performance of the building.

Are you implementing or renewing your Display Energy Certificates (DECs) in 2010?

Self Energy UK can promptly supply you with a competitive quote as well as providing support in achieving your carbon management objectives.

Unlike other Certification providers, not only can Self Energy provide you with your DEC, accompanying Advisory Reports and renewals, we can implement the advisory measures to improve your building’s DEC rating, guaranteed through an Energy Performance Guarantee.

Display Energy Certificates were introduced to raise awareness of energy use to visitors of public buildings. DECs show the actual amount of metered energy used in buildings, indicating how successfully the occupants of the building are managing their energy use. A grade is given from ‘A’ to ‘G’, much like the system used for new electrical appliances and cars.  The deadline for getting your DEC was 1st October 2008!

Do you have a split or centralised air conditioning system?

Air Conditioning Inspections were introduced to meet the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive which states that:

• Inspections of air-conditioning systems over 250kW must happen every 5 years - the first inspection should have been completed before 4th Jan 2009
• Inspections of air-conditioning systems over 12kW must happen every 5 years - the first inspection must be completed before 4th Jan 2011
• New air-conditioning systems over 12kW installed after January 2008 must be inspected within 5 years of being put into service

The inspection is designed to:

• Provide building owners/operators with information about system performance
• Identify ways to reduce your CO2 emissions and save energy and money

We all need to lower operational costs – a very good place to start is by reducing your energy consumption, particularly in your air-conditioning.  

According to the Department for Communities and Local Government, "Energy consumption can increase by as much as 60% as a result of poor maintenance and dirty components" in your air-conditioning system. 

By ensuring your air-conditioning is efficient, you can benefit from efficiency savings which add up to thousands of pounds. To do this, you need an Air-Conditioning Inspection Report - failing to have one could incur a penalty, which is shortly anticipated to rise to 12.5% of rateable property value.

At Self Energy, we have the capacity not only to carry out the inspection itself but also to implement the recommended actions. By implementing Self Energy’s recommendations, you can achieve:

• Extended equipment life
• Improved air quality
• Improved occupant comfort
• Energy reduction
• CO2 reduction
• Quick returns on investments (0-3 years)
• New equipment eligible for interest free loans or ECA

Many companies are already seeing the benefits of Self Energy’s air-conditioning inspection reports, such as the Hesperia in London Victoria.

To make sure you’re capitalising on the economic benefits and to avoid paying the penalties, contact us today: certification@selfenergy.co.uk or phone +44 (0)208 1444 348.
